The preferred way of adding new features to the Formatter is to subclass it, 
and modify one or more methods.  That's what the existing alternative 
formatters do.

A user can easily create such a subclass, and use it with their own parser, 
without having to modify the stock `argparse.py` file.

Given that flexibility, adding new features (as opposed to bug fixes) to the 
help formatter should have a low priority.
